Chapter 723 Characteristics of Yingzhou
"Oh, Lord Sheng Tianmu, I am a bit disappointed in my welcome. Please forgive me."
As soon as I got off the car, an old man who looked like a deacon came up to me, bowed down and saluted respectfully and solemnly: "Thank you for coming all the way. Please come inside."
"I've been here so many times, but I still need someone to lead the way."
Sheng Tianmu waved his hand: "Where are Arakawa and the others?"
The deacon was stunned for a moment and hesitated: "The head of the family..."
"There's no need to make any excuses. I'm talking to Ochiai and Kuga's family somewhere, right? A tea room? Or a secret room? It doesn't matter, just take me there. I'll ask you to lead the way when the Chiba family comes later."
Sheng Tianmu walked forward casually and ordered to the old deacon: "As for this Mr. Huazhi, you must also know about it, so just take him to the table."
The order was given without any explanation.
It's like he is the master here.
Under his gaze, the old deacon was stunned for a long time, then nodded with a stoop: "Please allow me to convey this..."
"Don't young people now love to use mobile phones? I can just call them and it will be over. How can they talk about secrets behind my back?"
Sheng Tianmu rushed all the way, relying on his status as one of the five big guys, and skillfully rushed into the quiet room of the Arakawa family and opened the door directly.
"Hey, are you all here?" The old man grinned and waved at the unhappy faces that turned around inside.
"Are you talking about something shady behind my back? Can you let me listen?"
He directly pulled a cushion over and sat across from a few people. He raised his hand and signaled: "Go on, go on, just pretend that the old man doesn't exist... Who is that! Give me a cup of tea and let me try this year's Arakawa tea garden." How is the harvest?"
"If you want to listen in, you have to be quiet and have your third eye."
The man smoking a cigarette was wearing a black Yingzhou-style robe. He was kneeling on the ground and looked over. He was the head of the Kuga family. He looks to be in his forties, but his hair is gray and he is already aging prematurely.
The head of the Ochiai family said nothing.
As the only woman among the five big men, she looks no different from the traditional elderly women in Yingzhou. Wearing simple and solemn long clothes, with her hair tied up in a bun, her expression was cold and calm.
After being disturbed by this old guy, no one was obviously interested in continuing.
Immediately afterwards, Sheng Tianmu propped up his knees and spoke.
"Now that you've finished talking... let me say a few words."
He smiled happily and asked straightforwardly: "How about letting me become the president of this alliance this time? As for money, it is easy to negotiate and I will never treat everyone badly."
As he spoke, he gestured like he was counting money.
He looks philistine and scoundrel.
"Are you dreaming?" The head of the Arakawa family looked over indifferently: "Can't I do it? Can't I do it?"
"Of course it's because you are not suitable, Mr. You."
Sheng Tianmu sighed: "Once you get to power, you will definitely do some messy things. Maybe if everyone provokes you, you will make enemies everywhere without thinking... Hey, don't be angry first. Look, you can't even provoke me. I can’t bear it. When the leader of the Iron King Party snorts when he sees you, won’t you start an all-out war?”
The head of Jiuga's family knocked on the cigarette rod, raised his head and asked, "Am I not allowed to do this?"
"Of course you are the best. When you are young and strong, you dare to fight and fight hard, and you are well-calculated. To be honest, you are more suitable than an old man. But..."
Sheng Tianmu shrugged and spread his hands: "My family doesn't have much manpower. Even if I give you the alliance, you can't mobilize it, right?
Ah, as for Miss Ochiai, please don’t say anything. It’s not that I’m discriminating against you. Although you are very capable and powerful, I really admire you - but if the news about a woman being in charge spreads, let alone the people outside, the people below They won't convince the public. "
The female head of the Ochiai family gave him a cold look and said nothing.
She knew this.
In the beginning, I was probably the person furthest away from the position of president, so I was happy to watch the show.
She has disliked this old man for too long, but she doesn't mind giving him a few more stumbling blocks.
"As for that guy Chiba Ryuuji, he is indeed a good choice, but his personality is just..."
The old man shook his head helplessly: "It is true that Long Er is the talent of ZTE. He has brought the Chiba Association back from the brink of collapse and made it bigger and stronger. But I think that after he becomes the president, he will definitely go to whoring first." All the brothels in the alliance, and then played with hundreds and eighty women. Finally, they were killed by the women on the bed and so on..."
After speaking, he pointed at himself, and after ridiculing all his opponents, he sincerely recommended himself: "In comparison, I am so old and can't be tough. Isn't it very reliable?"
Everyone's faces don't look very good.
Before he could speak, Arakawa retorted.
The quarrel started again.
Chiba Ryuuji, who smelled of red wine and perfume, arrived belatedly. When he walked into the room, he heard the sound of the third eye making a decision.
"Okay, as per your request Arakawa—you and I will decide the outcome among the alliance in accordance with the rules of the Yakuza!"
Even though he didn't hear anything, Chiba Ryuuji couldn't help but want to cover his face.
This speed is outrageous.
I was just three fucking minutes late!
Did that guy from the Arakawa family... fall into the old man's trap again?
At the same time, Huai Shi finally realized the local characteristics of Yingzhou that outsiders must taste - cold violence.
The noisy venue was now packed with seats and the atmosphere was warm. All the team leaders from the alliance were drinking tea and chatting happily. The atmosphere was lively.
Only the area within three meters of Huaishi was as cold as ice and silent.
Everyone sat upright and drank tea without looking away. Except for the Arakawa family servant who occasionally came to refill the water, no one paid any attention to him.
Under this situation, Huaishi was so idle that she picked her feet.
There is no way, the signals here are blocked, and even the Astronomical Society's channel is interfered with. But if you use source communication, the chance of being discovered is too high.
Radio silence has long since passed.
I can’t even play with my mobile phone.
You can only watch a few geishas twisting and turning together with the music in the field, which makes you want to yawn.
I want the servants here to find a comic book for me to read, but the servants are all trying to shirk it and don't know where it is - just kidding, the boss will talk later, and you will be amused by reading the comic below.
Once the boss sees it, I’ll just make a mental note for you. If I find out who gave this silly comic the comic, will I still have my little finger?
Soon, Huaishi gave up
After all, he only reads comics for fun.
But having fun is just having fun. If you really want to have fun, you have to have fun...
As the saying goes, once happiness fails, happiness comes again.
If you don’t play with me, I will play by myself.
Huai Shi raised her hand and called her servants over. She pointed at the twisted geishas and piano players and said, "Call one over and let me order a song."
After the geisha came over respectfully, he held his chin, looked at the white powder falling on her face, and suddenly asked: "Can you dance to "Pure Land"?"
"..." The geisha was stunned and shook her head.
"Forget it, I guess you don't know how to do those vulgar ones. Let's try an elegant one." Huai Shi slapped the table and said, "Let's dance "Swan Lake"!"
"..." The geisha was stunned, showing an awkward yet polite smile.
I have already begun to curse in my stomach - dance in the Swan Lake that your mother sells in batches, this guy looks good, what's going on in his head?
Not to mention she can't dance, she must be able to dance even wearing this outfit.
"Guest, guest, is there anything else you want to see?"
She forced a smile and looked in the direction behind her in embarrassment: "I mean, just forget it if you don't appreciate me, don't stop me from making money."
Huaishi also wanted to see a two-person twerk, but after thinking about it, there was only one geisha, and she couldn't twerk, and maybe she couldn't even sing for a little widow to visit her grave.
Suddenly feeling bored, he sighed, waved his hand and said, "Let's go."
As if she had been granted amnesty, the geisha was freed from this fool. She stood up in a panic and was about to run away, but the musician behind her was stopped: "Hey, the dancer wants to leave, why are you leaving..."
Huaishi stretched out her hand and pointed at the shamisen in the dazed piano master's hand: "Lend me that thing to play with."
The violinist instinctively wanted to refuse, but when he was looked at by those eyes, he stiffened and his fingers couldn't help but tremble. But when this man grinned, he felt close and shaken from the bottom of his heart.
What my mother said to my uncle when I was a child came to my ears: The child is still young and ignorant, so just let him play for a while...
Every time he said this, his uncle would have that 'generous and generous' smile on his face, which he would remember for the rest of his life.
And when he reacted from the memory, the shamisen in his hand had been directly pulled out by Huai Shi.
Huai Shi held it in his hand like a pipa. After randomly picking it twice, he felt something was wrong and reached out to pull out the remaining plectrum from the luthier's hand.
"Hey, this gadget is almost like a guitar."
Holding the shamisen in his arms, Huaishi tried a few notes at random - there are various string picking techniques in the cello, and it is not difficult to get started.
With such a high level of cello playing, there will be no barriers. Besides, who can only play one musical instrument? When he was a child, he practiced four-handed playing with Ai Qing. Thinking about it, he really misses it.
Recalling the past, Huai Shi's lips evoked a nostalgic smile.
He lowered his head and plucked the strings of the shamisen.
The low, clanking sound was like the cold sound of ice cubes breaking, spreading in all directions, causing the hustle and bustle in the venue to stop. Immediately, the dexterous notes jumped in everyone's ears.
With great joy and celebration.
Mi, 唻, pull - mi, 唻, abet...
The prelude flowed briskly so familiarly that it seemed to be engraved into the DNA. Huai Shi raised his eyebrows and shook his head in this nostalgic melody.
"Hey, young man!"
Two updates finished... Bai Ze went out to play, Duoduo also went out to play, "Feng Yue is coding" (tears flowed down.
